The dramatic rise in life expectancy has improved human well-being but future longevity uncertainty also poses a real challenge to pension funding levels that plan sponsors will need to proactively manage, PGIM said recently in a new report. PGIM, among the world’s top 10 asset managers with more than $1 trillion in assets under administration, is the global investment administration businesses of Prudential Financial, Inc. (PRU).

The report, Longevity and Liabilities: Bridging the Gap, highlights that longevity risk has often taken a backseat to investment and interest rate risk. The underestimation of human life spans by forecasters and the potentially sharp unanticipated increases in longevity resulting from medical breakthroughs, such as anti-aging genetic treatments, poses a real risk to pension funding levels. This risk is compounded by the “lower for longer” interest rate environment that has burdened plan sponsors with low discount rates.
